No that's the new prime1 and the left is the film suit.
Wrong.
You have been misled

Ah I see, I'm not on there. I simply took the post above mine and did a side by side. I'm not on that page on fb.
Yeah, the original poster on FB was inadvertently disingenuous by doing that.
. . . I really hate the idea of getting another IS version. The unboxing was dreadful . . .
I'm seriously considering canceling this now
I don't know if a repaint would be worth it on this one. It would be quite expensive to have done as well.
But so SOOOOOOOO worth it
(* plus you were the only person I heard of that had that assembly issue - so hopefully you wouldn't get a repeat of that *)

Would you have to eat the deposit?
Forgive me, but is there really that much to repaint on this? I'm not defending Prime 1 (or putting down Infinity for that matter), but if your aim is to merely take this piece to the Infinity's level, it doesn't seem like a massive step.
The head work is a cinch. Couple hours to touch up the mandibles, minimize the veins, and you're there. Washing and drybrushing are incredibly easy as long as you keep your layers light. Forgiving too, due to the water dilution. You can wipe what you don't like if you make a mistake.
As for the body paint, Prime 1 boasts better spotting and deeper reds while Infinity has nicer stripe shapes (and more of them) to fill out the legs. In my humble opinion, netting removal and the need for actual airbrush skill make this the most tedious and expensive job, but it may not be an area you're concerned about.
Credit to Unknown Hero for the Infinity pics, just grabbed them off the dedicated thread.

I think it's friggin' great to see everyone on the forums appreciating what we have - 2 stellar representations of a character that has never before been produced at this level of quality.

If Queen Studios could get these licenses, whew, we'd truly be in an Alien and Predator renaissance.

So yay US !!!!!
The sculpts & QC are off the charts, and I don't care WHICH people prefer . . . but I do wish PRIME1 and Infinity Studios had been around before Sadshow got their mits on the franchise
